March 7, 2020 The FIGC president, Gabriele Gravina, does not rule out that the Serie A championship may be suspended "if there is a case of coronavirus among the players". In an interview with 'Dribbling', on Rai2, the number 1 in football explains: "We have to be realistic, the real risk exists and we will take all measures to protect athletes, trying to understand what impact they would have on sports. We cannot rule out anything or venture hypotheses that we cannot predict. "To cope with the coronavirus emergency, no precautions should be omitted and unnecessary risks must be avoided. For this reason, Gravina warns, the national team friendlies against Germany and England could be at risk: "It seems that the city of Nuremberg will ask to postpone the game, while in England there is a quarantine provision: I hope you can play at least closed doors, "he adds. Gravina then explained the decision to play behind closed doors was made because "we focused on the need for Italian football, the fans and, ultimately, the economic interest of many clubs, accepting the invitation of Minister Spadafora to meet to the needs of the Italians. An event behind closed doors - he concluded - is certainly incomplete ".
